Dover Dam Weekend - 2017

“Everybody likes to see firefighters and fire trucks ... in parades and
at the fire station, not at our homes, schools, business, and camps.
Obviously, “the ability to use fire safety is essential to human survival.
Fire is a part of life. By learning important skills, our scouts will be
better prepared to use fire safely.”

Those attending Dover Dam Weekend will learn valuable skills, and the
critical importance of those skills. Scouts will learn to do the right
things in the first place, so that fire doesn’t become a problem. But as we
know, the best laid plans of mice and scouts often go awry, so scouts will
also learn how to best respond when they encounter fire situations that have
become fire problems. Demonstrations, as well as hands-on opportunities,
will cover a multitude of fire safety skills, both preventative and
reactive, including:

And, yes, in addition to all those skill and training opportunities,
there will be fire trucks, along with the men and women who are our
community fire safety experts, helping to save lives and property.

Boy Scouts can earn the Merit Badge. Cubs and
Webelos can accomplish many of the fire safety requirements for
their assorted badges. The cost is $15 per participant, which covers all
activities, the event patch, Saturday dinner, and the campfire. Camping
costs are extra. Pre-registration is required, with the event expected to be
at capacity. Check the Camp and event (http://camptuscdd.weebly.com)
